A functional carry exercise using an unwieldy sandbag pressed against the body, training core stability and grip in a way that rigid implements cannot replicate due to the shifting load.
Form tips
Bear hug the bag against your chest or shoulder it — both are valid and train slightly different stability patterns.
Resist the shifting weight actively; that instability is the point and what makes it more challenging than a dumbbell carry.
Walk with intention and controlled breathing — treat it like a heavy loaded carry, not casual walking.
